    Read excerpt

    Text messaging has become one of the most trusted channels in the digital economy. It supports customer engagement, account recovery, authentication, and payments on a global scale. And it has become one of the most exploited. According to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), consumers reported losses of approximately $470 million from scams that originated with text messages in 2024, up from less than $90 million in 2020.

    Why Barium Titanate Could Be the Penelope of Integrated Photonics (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The demands of AI infrastructure are reshaping integrated photonics and device architectures, pushing the industry beyond traditional pluggable optics. Previously, optical devices were typically separated from electronic components. However, the volume of data exchanged between accelerators increases exponentially as AI models and cluster sizes grow, making interconnect capacity just as important, if not more so, than computing power. With data speeds climbing to 800G, 1.6T and higher, signal lo
